Green tea and blueberry iced tea

A perfect summer drink 

Blueberry iced tea recipe

Skip the powdered sweet stuff and make an iced tea with healthy and natural ingredients. Blueberries, green tea and honey join forces to make one hell of a refreshing drink. Try making this a little more "adult" by adding a splash or two of gin or vodka, you know, as a toast to good health. Cheers!

Green tea and blueberry iced tea

2 cups B.C. blueberries, fresh or frozen, divided
1/4 cup honey
3 tea bags green tea

In a saucepan over high heat, bring 3 cups of water, half of the blueberries and honey to a boil for 2 minutes.

Remove from heat, add the tea bags and steep for 6 - 7 minutes. Strain through a sieve and add 1 cup of cold water.

Serve over ice with remaining blueberries as garnish.

For a cocktail version, add vodka or amaretto to taste.
